The application process for JEE Main 2027 is underway by the National Testing Agency (NTA). Meanwhile, considering the problems and queries of the candidates, the agency has issued a FAQ of 35 questions. This includes information related to ‘Mari Pahechan’ i.e. National Single Sign On (NSSO) platform and DigiLocker for the application. So far more than 7.86 lakh students have registered. Last date to apply is 22 November. At the same time, application can be made till November 26 with a late fee of Rs 500.
According to career counseling expert Amit Ahuja, the number of registrations is increasing as the application deadline approaches. According to NTA data, a total of 7,86,681 students had registered till 2 pm on Saturday. Out of them 5,94,000 students completed the application process by paying the exam fee. Around 1.92 lakh candidates are yet to deposit the fee. Such students are advised to deposit the fee before November 22. Failure to do so may result in cancellation of their application.
Information about ‘My Identity’ and DigiLocker is required
NTA has stated in the FAQ that this time the information of the students is being collected through ‘Mary Pehachan’ in the application process. It has been integrated with the National Single Sign On Platform (NSSO) of the Ministry of Information Technology. Apart from this, candidates are asked to keep their important information updated on DigiLocker.
Can apply even if there is no category certificate
Information for reserved category students is also given in the FAQ. Candidates whose category certificate has not yet been prepared can fill the form based on the receipt received after applying for the certificate. For this, the application registration number, date of application and name of the certifying authority should be mentioned on the receipt.
In case of error, you can do a new registration
According to NTA, if there is any mistake in the application related to name, Aadhaar information, exam city, 10th-12th educational details, live photo or category, students can do fresh registration. In such a case, the fresh application will be considered final and the examination will be conducted accordingly. However, candidates can also correct their mistakes when the correction window opens. Apart from this, the application process can be completed even if there is no APAAR ID.
Rules regarding selection of exam city and calculator
According to the FAQ, students will be able to select the exam city according to their current or permanent address status. Address registered on Aadhaar card will have no role in selecting the examination centre. So, while applying, information about current and permanent address has to be filled carefully. At the same time, candidates will not be allowed to use calculators during the examination.
